.SYNOPSIS FOR THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS...

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the bays and nearshore
waters through midnight tonight. A gentle to moderate onshore
breeze (BF 3-4) can be expected tonight across the coastal waters.
Another cold front is forecast to push through Thursday
afternoon, bringing another wave of fresh to strong northeasterly
flow in its wake through Friday morning. This will likely warrant
a Small Craft Advisory. Winds weaken to gentle to moderate heading
into the weekend, with the wind direction varying. Moderate rain

through Friday. Low to medium chances linger through Saturday
evening.
